GUJRANWALA, June 16: Scores of villagers on Monday attacked a team of doctors and police, headed by judicial magistrate, which had gone to exhume a body at Chak Aziz, Wazirabad.
District and Sessions Judge Riazul Hassan Alvi has ordered registration of a case against the accused.
Reports said Ghulam Rasool moved the sessions court, pleading that his brother Abdul Ghani was killed by his rivals over an agricultural land dispute on March 17, 2003. The accused buried him in a village graveyard before his postmortem could be conducted, he added.
He requested the court to order exhumation of his brother’s body and appoint a medical board to conduct his postmortem.
The court directed the judicial magistrate to get the body exhumed. The magistrate, along with Tehsil Headquarters Hospital’s board and police, reached Chak Aziz where the locals clubbed and pelted stones on it. The team returned unsuccessful.
The judge took serious notice of the incident and ordered the police to register a case against the assailants.
